Bringing new music to the lesson

[gruffalo]

I have just been asked by my teacher for the next lesson to get some new music for the new stuff i am going to study. does it annoy the teacher to bring it as sheet music? I'd think it was ok if it was the side of a Bach Prelude and Fugue, but i have some longer pieces like Liszt Les Jeux D'Eau a la villa d'Este which has many pages.

is this Ok?

this illegal.

this illegal.

not nezzezerily...

illegal or not, it doesnt really matter. most people and schools photocopy anyway. it can't be illegal if i got it from here right? either way, he said he doesnt mind because im learning pieces from scratch by memorizing from the start.

If you're actually working on it, I would own it or at least have it checked out of the library. 

[gruffalo]

well, he seems to be OK with the Chopin Etude downloaded from pianostreet sheet music section. he checked it over and found it was fine.

A xeroxed copy would be illegal.  If it's emusic off the net, that's fine.  PS music would be stamped with PS.  He might wonder about the quality though.

i think hes changed one or two things. but he scanned the music first thing, so he seems to know what hes doing.

Gruffalo-

It pisses me off when students bring in flimsy paper copies off the net........buy the book- especially if you love the music. If money is a factor- the Dover editions are very affordable and for Romantic Style music- very reliable. Most of my Romantic library is Dover. All classical and baroque is Henle.

The thing is, it works with his method of teaching. I now work by memorizing straight off, and then practicing without the music. he checks the music out as i bring to him. he seems to know the music very well, and has changed a few things. he also tells me that he doesnt care about the sheet music, because of his methods.
